Leader in Me

Our leadership culture actively engages students in their own learning. Students set goals and track progress their progress. All students become active participants in the direction of the school and many of the decisions that are made.

The 7 Habits are the foundation of the leadership culture.

Habit 1. Be Proactive – You’re in Charge

Habit 2. Begin with the End in Mind – Have a Plan

Habit 3. Put First Things First – Work First, Then Play

Habit 4. Think Win-Win – Everyone Can Win

Habit 5. Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood – Listen Before You Talk

Habit 6. Synergize – Together is Better

Habit 7. Sharpen the Saw – Balance Feels Best

A leadership culture reinforces every student’s capabilities. It encourages exploration, inquiry, technology infusion, project-based learning, and experimentation within a safe, secure environment. One of the foundational principals of this culture is for members to find their voice (their unique gifts and talents), and to help others find theirs. Once students find their voice, they are inspired and motivated. Inspired and motivated students are intrinsically motivated to do the right thing. Our goal is to find the leader in every child!

At Slavens we take the high road.
We genuinely care about ourselves, each other and our school.
We show and receive respect by: using kind words and actions, listening thoughtfully, standing up for ourselves and others and taking responsibility for our own behavior and learning.
This is who we are even when no one is watching!
